Profiling all Muslims will only make things worse and fan even more distrust" really can't profile them anyway. You even got Anlgos joining the nut cases and when was the last time a Muslim blew up or attempted to blow up a plane in muslim clothing? If you think about richard Reid for petesakes looked just like my brother and that Christmas dude looked a lot like my sales guy. it would be hard indeed to profile. The better prevention is the fight them in the correct manner

But that's the U.S. TSA for you, they're morons." And yet people want to unionize them.... if that happens watch things get ten fold worse. Gov + Union workers = disaster.

freeze? they need a pay cut... I meet guys at the Sanno telling me what they get paid and think that job in the real world would be about 1/4 of that. Cut their pay, cut the seats, and freeze it right there and put many of those jobs back into the military hands.

how do we know everything this guy is putting out as true? With his fame, he could basically make anything up at this point and be believed. There's no stopping this.

between this and Bush choking on a pretzle I don't know what to say.. who hasn't gotten their lip busted and nada on any news of it. Nope, just kept playing - no special doctor, no one sending me flowers... They really should have kept this quiet.

know they can't win an all out war." I don't want to sound pessimistic, I was only a medic while in the army, but after spending two years in Korea, I felt that ground to ground, they'd give us a run for the money. You know, like a lot of guys, you'll have to kill them to stop them, We would really have to hit them hard and not even consider trying to rebuild the place.

I've never understood why people camp out for this.. I usually go to small shops to get Christmas presents and get the big stuff later on.

not sure if this is relevant, but through some of the other blogs, there's a rumor that China shot off a missile off the west coast.... I really hope nothing is going down.

Ridiculous. Scan everyone, or don't scan anyone, if you are being honest about the screenings being for safety." surprised, we agree.... Not for nothing, I don't see why the scanners are causing so many problems for people, I don't mean about the allegations that someone kept scans, people were sayingg they were invasive even before they were deployed. I rather have some TSA dude/girl get stimulated by my body than risk being blown up. If you really have a problem, go with one of those private plane groups.... they are not as much as you think they are.

yeah, who does he think he is - Charley Rangel?
seriously, I've heard this was more the fault of his accountants, which mind you was put into law by Rangel that even if its your accountant's fault, it falls on you....
No one, until Rangel is in jail, should go to jail for tax problems.....

Who said anything about putting the Taliban or their followers on a pedestal. All I am saying punish those war criminals and war profiteers (like they did in WWII)--read Halliburton which provided dirty drinking water and rotten food to our troops at sky high prices. I feel a little anger here dude. What? Is it OK for our side to commit war atrocities? Is it a crime to whistle blow on these people? Is it?" Ok, I misunderstood your post. It just seems lately, especially from many on JT, that those we are supposedly fighting are the good guys and Americans are the bad guys.

Democrats were punished severely this election" Yeah, but remember, repubs were severely punished just a few years ago too... Ever hear the song "Circles, Go round in Circles"?
Nothing is ever going to change until people start thinking about pushing both dems and repubs out of the picture.

I once heard bill cosby on a show and he did a study of guys in prison. He said that 80% of the guys in the joint, were raised by a single parent. If marriage is going to go away, I sure hope people take responsibility when they have kids

Look at Japanese weddings; the only thing that really says 'you are married' is when they register it at City Hall." stamp, stamp, stamp.... and a mean face at that.
